About

Rudra Pratap Dhara is a Senior Software Engineer III at Zemoso Labs. With 5+ years in software engineering, and a climb from Software Engineer II to SSE III in three years, Rudra engineers an AI-native platform that automates regulatory document authoring for the life-sciences industry, working end to end across cloud infrastructure, event-driven pipelines, batch processing, large-scale migrations, and the build, validation and deployment of AI agents in production. Rudra leads cross-functional engineering teams spanning frontend, backend and QA, turning ambiguous product goals into reliable releases. Outside work, Rudra experiments with multimodal models and diffusion-based video generation, and is learning Rust to build high-performance infrastructure. Open to conversations with teams building agentic AI at scale.

Senior Software Engineer III

Zemoso Labs

Jan 2026 to Present
  • Responsible for the end-to-end cloud infrastructure of an AI document-automation platform: 9 containerized microservices across 3 isolated environments (dev, stage, prod), all defined as code.
  • Architected AI agent deployment at scale. Queue-triggered agent workers scale from zero, sit behind 13 message queues with dead-letter recovery, and use gated dispatch and self-healing sweepers to recover stranded jobs.
  • Built AI-agent validation into CI. Evaluation suites with LLM-as-judge scoring, plus full LLM tracing, run on every change so agent quality regressions are caught before release.
  • Led a platform-wide LLM provider migration from framework-coupled chains to a unified gateway on managed cloud foundation models, done service by service with zero downtime.
  • Built an autonomous SRE agent on the Claude Agent SDK. It triages production alarms on a schedule, follows runbook skills and publishes root-cause summaries to the team.
  • Lead cross-functional engineering teams across frontend, backend and QA: sprint planning, design reviews, release sign-off and mentoring engineers across three disciplines.
  • Run a production observability baseline of 66 alarms covering latency, saturation, queue backlog, consumer failures and security findings, routed to chat for fast response.

Senior Software Engineer II

Zemoso Labs

Jan 2025 to Dec 2025
  • Designed the AI quality-check engine. Rule-scoped AI verifiers check completeness, compliance and data integrity, and an async dependency resolver orders the checks.
  • Ran schema migrations at scale: 86 versioned database migrations shipped across environments, including document versioning, real-time comment threads and access-control models.
  • Built a change-set-based infrastructure pipeline with lint, validate, preview on PR, approval-gated prod execution and daily drift detection.
  • Cut container build times to under 60 seconds and streamlined CI/CD across services that together ship 500+ tagged releases.

Senior Software Engineer I

Zemoso Labs

Jan 2024 to Dec 2024
  • Built event-driven batch pipelines for data-source ingestion, content generation and post-processing, each running as an independent queue-driven worker with retries and dead-letter queues.
  • Shipped collaboration features end to end: threaded comments, notifications, document export and custom-domain transactional email.
  • Hardened enterprise auth with multi-tenant SSO across 4 identity providers and pre-sign-up controls on serverless functions.

Software Engineer II

Zemoso Labs

Jan 2023 to Feb 2024
  • Built core backend services in Python/FastAPI and a NestJS data service for an AI document platform, from the first commit to production.
  • Built the first LLM-backed content-generation and data-extraction workers, which became the foundation of the platform's agent layer.
  • Contributed across a codebase backed by 23,000+ automated tests, with ~500 commits and 350K+ lines shipped across 15+ repositories.

Associate Software Engineer

Zemoso Labs

Nov 2021 to Jan 2023
  • Built a satellite-imagery detection platform for the AI-driven inspection product line of a Fortune 500 energy-technology company, owning it across backend, vision algorithms and frontend.
  • Designed and built the backend services in Java / Spring Boot to ingest imagery, orchestrate detection jobs and serve results to operators.
  • Developed Python computer-vision detection algorithms that turn raw satellite imagery into actionable asset-inspection findings.
  • Built the operator-facing web app in React with a GraphQL API layer for querying detections on large geospatial datasets.

Software Engineer

Accenture

Feb 2021 to Sept 2021
  • Contributed to a large-scale drafting platform for one of the largest US telecom carriers, building and maintaining features used across its enterprise operations.
